Edward, you will enjoy the Saratoga. I only fly GA aircraft. I fly the Cherokee 180 for basic VFR flying. The Arrow and Saratoga for meduim distance IFR/VFR flights. My Duke for long distance flights. Busy flying my Duke from South Africa to England at the moment, stopped at Khartuom at the moment. |

Will do, I have taken quite a few so far. Will try and post tomorrow. Also once tried a flight from Scotland to Australia, but only got as far as India. That was flying a Cessna C421 Goldern Eagle. Only stopped because I upgraded to FSX, so my C421 is still in Goa and in FS9. The Duke is the closest to the C421 I come to in FSX.

Enjoy Edward. Besides flying South Africa to England, I am also doing a complete tour of Scotland in the Cherokee 180, landing and taking off at every Scottish airfield. |

Look forward to that Edward, Have not flown online yet. So would be a new experience for me. My only problem is that I am working 60 hrs plus a week at the moment, so sundays is my only off day. And then I like spend sometime with my daughter(she is 4), but yes I am sure we could spend an hour flying together. Look forward to it. James
